    What a wonderful experience... the Captain provided a great tour around the sea stacks. We saw lots of puffins both on the cliffs and floating in the waves. This was one of the best activities that we did while visiting the Faroes.

    The original Puffin Safari Boat Tour we booked was cancelled as there were not enough people (there were just two of us). This was a shame as the weather looked really nice that evening. Fortunately we were offered another option (next day) but this meant we went to Mykinos before Puffin Safari, it would have been much better the other way around as we saw many more puffins and much closer during the trip to Mykinos. We were asked by email by the tour organizers what drinks we wanted as they were included in the price, we asked for coffee, this was never offered on the boat, but on the website drinks are promised. At the same time there was only one person operating the boat so it was hard to imagine how he was supposed to make drinks as well. We were joined by 5 other people so there were 7 customers on the boat, this meant that it was crowded on the deck and two of the passengers (including one of us) were inside. While you could still see the beautiful views and some puffins it was hard to take any photos. Most people saw a seal, which was really exciting. The guide/boat master was very nice and the commentary was interesting.

    Really enjoyed seeing puffins and the sea stacks in evening light. Great scenery. On our evening, the waves were too choppy to get very close to the cliffs so we had to see puffins from afar but we saw them several times. Our pilot also had to deal with a boat issue caused by another tourist hiring a switch they shouldn't but all was well. I appreciated that we all had floatation devices just in case. Good information and puffin spotting from the pilot! Tips: Bring warm clothes and take motion sickness medication if you're susceptible to that as I am. The boat had fold down seats in the back and a cabin but it was full in peak tourist season, so not everyone could sit inside. We were good with fleece under windbreaker and hat/gloves.

    Our captain was very friendly and told us all the interesting facts about the island of Vagar and the surrounding area. He answered every question in great detail and took time for his customers. The small size of the group means there is a very family-like and pleasant atmosphere on board. He knows many different places where you can come across seeing puffins. You don't get as close to the puffins as on Mykines, but you see them in their natural environment. It was an incredible experience and the highlight of our vacation so far. We would recommend this tour to everyone.

    It was a fabulous trip despite the weather. I had problems getting to the harbor and the tour operator was wonderfully helpful. The views are amazing. The boat owner grew up there and had great stories to tell. It was more than just puffins, but of course, who doesn’t love seeing puffins?

    Tindhólmur, a breathtaking stop on the tour, is an uninhabited islet that captures the untamed spirit of the Faroe Islands. It is home to thousands of Puffins, adding an extra layer of enchantment to every tour. The islet's distinct five peaks - Ytsti, Arni, Lítli, Breiði, Bogdi, named after the cardinal directions and time, rise dramatically from the sea, each with a unique silhouette. From a distance, the islet resembles a sleeping dragon, providing a touch of mystique. The bold contrast of steep cliffs against the ever-changing Atlantic sea and sky creates a tranquil and exhilarating scene.

    Mulafossur Waterfall

    The Múlafossur Waterfall is a gem that no boat tour should miss. Emanating from the quaint village of Gásadalur, the waterfall dramatically plunges directly into the Atlantic Ocean. The unobstructed cascade from the high cliffs into the frothy sea forms a natural spectacle that's both tranquil and majestic. The lush green hills surrounding it create an unparalleled backdrop, resulting in a scene straight out of a fairy tale. Its surreal beauty, coupled with its unique cliffside-to-ocean course, makes Múlafossur one of the most photographed waterfalls worldwide, cementing its place as a must-see highlight of the Faroe Islands.

    Skarðsáfossur

    <nil>

    Skarðsafossur is an enchanting stop on the boat tour, showcasing the elemental drama of the Faroe Islands. Notably, it's also a cherished home for puffins, providing an opportunity to get up close to these charming seabirds. This lesser-known waterfall cascades elegantly from the highlands of Vágar down into the vast Atlantic. The site's relative remoteness offers a serene and unspoiled atmosphere, a world away from the everyday. Skarðsafossur's powerful waters cut through the verdant landscape, producing a soothing sound that blends harmoniously with the rhythmic lapping of the sea. Its gentle mist and vibrant rainbow on sunny days further amplify the waterfall's ethereal charm. The untouched allure of Skarðsafossur, coupled with its thriving puffin population, provides a quiet yet profound spectacle, making it an intriguing highlight of the journey.
